Wicklow Wolf would like to Challenge NHC Clubs and members to brew a beer at their Hop Location in Roundwood using Fresh Green Hops.

Because of timing we need you to have a quick think and confirm if this is something you would be interested in doing as a club or an individual. If there is enough interest at club level it stays with the NHC.The provisional date for this event is Sat 23rd of September but may be subject to change if the hops are slow finishing in the coming weeks.Please only put your name down only if your sure you can participate

The Process

It’s a team event, each team can have from 1 to 4 members, as long as you bring your gear to brew on.We can accomodate up to 10 teams brewing on the day.

The location is 20 minutes from the M11/M50 interchange.

Electricity will be provided. If you need more than 13Amps please advise.

All water will be provided to brew and chill with and you will have the water profile in advance.

You provide your own malt and yeast. Malt can be supplied if required. The criteria is that the base malts must have been grown and malted in Ireland so either Minch or MCI.

The teams present themselves and are told by Simon Lynch the owner of the farm and Co-Director of Wicklow Wolf what is good to go on the day.

In advance you will be given a list of hops that are currently growing at the farm.

The teams (Individuals will get help) will then take down the bines and pick what is required for their boil.Brewing software can be used but won’t be supplied.
